The Weekly Stuff #319 – The Neon Genesis Evangelion Episode

<p>A year after the show’s arrival on Netflix, and a year after promising to do an episode all about it, we’ve finally done a <i>Neon Genesis Evangelion </i>episode! A crossover with our sister show <i>Weekly Suit Gundam, </i>we dive deep with the original 26 episodes of Hideaki Anno’s influential classic, and find that, while it has frequently magnificent direction, animation, and voice acting, the story, structure, and themes are a lot more undercooked and problematic. It’s certainly a fascinating show to talk about, and hopefully worth the wait (though big <i>Eva </i>fans might hate us by the end). We also hear from Sean about playing <i>Yakuza 3 </i>from the recent Remastered Collection, talk about the Season 3 updates and Kefla DLC for <i>Dragon Ball FighterZ, </i>and go over a few pieces of recent news, including new details about the Xbox Series X. </p><p><strong>Time Chart: </strong></p><p>Intro: 0:00:00 – 0:09:17</p><p>Sean Talks <i>Yakuza 3: </i>0:09:17 – 0:15:40 </p><p><i>Dragon Ball FighterZ </i>Season 3: 0:15:40 – 0:24:12 </p><p>News: 0:24:12 – 0:50:04 </p><p><i>Evangelion: </i>0:50:04 – 3:31:29 </p><p><a href="https://weeklystuff.substack.com/"><strong>Subscribe to The Weekly Stuff Wordcast Newsletter!</strong></a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6QsXZYt12NIzF224GKBA0g"><strong>Subscribe to our YouTube Channel!</strong></a></p><p><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/wgtc-radio-we-got-this-covered/id535584943"><strong>Subscribe for free to 'The Weekly Stuff' in iTunes!</strong></a></p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/JonathanLack"><strong>Follow Jonathan Lack on Twitter!</strong></a></p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/SeanTheChapman"><strong>Follow Sean Chapman on Twitter!</strong></a></p>
